what we did

what we did was take the air tubes off and look at the needles and made sure that it was even. We did the whole adjustments per the manual and the generator light is flickering at idle.

mine

I believe mine was the narrow seat. If you go to the member gallery page and type in my username (acerynes) you can see a picture of what the bike was when I brought it home. The brakes are shockingly pretty good for what I expected. I had a lot of help by Kevin Brooks and he uses a good brake mater...
